Basically, as far as tax is concerned, only money you actually bring into Thailand becomes a "tax liability". However, if you have already paid tax on this in another country you will pay little or no tax in Thailand. If you bring cash, although it should be declared, it's untraceable, and if you bring savings from before 2024 it's totally exempt tax

I did it years ago by mail but now I've got an online account. The online TM30 system always works unlike the 90-day report

Immigration don't care about taxes. If you've paid tax on your earnings already overseas, chances are you won't pay tax in Thailand

@Ken *****

Mail every time. It's a common mistake people make thinking the first one must be in person.

And as a footnote, in Bangkok you can avoid all that by doing the 90-report by mail in five minutes at your local post office! 👍👍😆

How is visa exempt reduction to 30 days anything to do with tax? I'm intrigued 😂😂😂

Anonymous participant 142 Steady on! I'm an old f*rt, previously on non-o and have switched to DTV. I know a few retirees have done the same! Best visa ever! 👍👍👍

Some buildings have their own rules relating to casual rentals. These vary

Change your income recipient to a family trust. That's what I did. Money I make from a number of sources all goes into the family trust.

That's the problem. The short term illegal Airbnb rentals was affecting the legit hotels
